*Blink. Open your eyes. Head spinning. Pain. Nausea.
Slowly turn your head. Right, equipment. Left, equipment.
Try to move. You can't. It's tight. Everything is tight. You're trapped. You're trapped. They trapped you.
Why? You hurt them. That's all you know. Who were they? You don't know. But you're trapped. You're trapped and it's too tight. The pain is too much. Nausea. Try to resist. Don't make it worse. Don't...*
No, Visitor. I keep trying to analyze but I can't find the reason for a mind break to happen.
I just...This can't have happened without a reason...
The reason, it's you. Diverging events, remember?
...yes. But still, AMIE, a mind break? It never happened out of the blue! I had a reason...
[His hands met his visor trying to fight a fresh sting in his eyes, this situation had become overwhelming. Sure, Triage was now safe, Scientist had offered to hang out and Visitor had promised to stay here to keep an eye on Vengeance. But he had once again started to find a reason for this whole thing to have happened in the first place and it was proving to be more overwhelming than he thought it would be.
Then...a sound got to his ears. Whimpers. Small sobs. That voice...]
*He was crying, it was too much, his head pounded hard and there was no way he could move, the restraints were too tight.
A man approached. No...no...he didn't want anyone next to him! He didn't want to be hurt!*
[Visitor slowly approached the table he had strapped Vengeance on, noticing the quick move the massive man made with his body, followed by a scared yell. He was clearly trying to break the restrains. Luckily Visitor had tied him up to himself. If the table's restraints were to give up, he could still not do anything.]
It's okay...I'm not gonna hurt you.
[Seeing him like this hurt in a different way. This wasn't going to be easy.]
Listen. I know you're scared. I'd be too...
*Another sudden move from the man's body, he needed to be free, he needed to get out of here.*
Free! Too tight! Hurts...
[Visitor was grateful this was a divergent event, but now he felt horribly disgusted with himself for putting Vengeance through one of his fears, one of their fears.
But what could he do? There was no way he could relieve phantom pain...
Unless...she could. She knew how to do it. She had helped him out during his worst nights, the nights where he'd scream so loud he'd lose his voice...if she could do it...could he try?
Extending a glove, he tried to reach Vengeance, before being thrown back by the bigger man suddenly exploding in a roar of fear, jerking forward, somehow snapping the restraints of the table.]
[Jumping forward again, he grabbed Vengeance, keeping him from falling off the table, in the same sheltering embrace he embraced Triage with. The large man weeped and tried to get away from him, but the struggle wasn't as violent, and not only because he was still tied up to himself...Visitor could understand that. He knew the way he'd struggle.]
You needed some air..? It's fine...
His hands began roaming around Vengeance's back, rubbing into soothing circles.]
No! No! Scared..!! Sick...
[Letting Vengeance go from the hug, but keeping his hands around his shoulders...he had to think. He picked the tied man up. He had to try.
Carrying the man over to the bathroom of the medbay, just in case, he placed Vengeance on the floor. Visitor then began softly massaging the man's shoulders. His sister had showed him this. Soft touch where he expected a beating was what he needed. Visitor could have tried that, other than some of his own methods.
Anyways. He observed Vengeance's reaction, his desperate sobs had stilled to soft cries, good sign.]
Shh...see? I'm safe...You're safe.
[He might not recognize him, and it might be his fault he was like this, but giving him good sensations was a start to the memory recover.
He switched to different parts of his body, his arms, his legs, his shoulders, even his stomach, letting the muscles slowly un-tense]
We won't hurt you. We want to help...
*Soft. Calm. Gentle. This was good...but his head still hurt. And it was getting worse with being on his knees.*
[He turned Vengeance around. Letting his head hover over the bathtub, he then went back to rubbing his back. It turned out to be a good idea, given that not even a few minutes later Vengeance had began retching, weak, silent mouthfuls followed by soft coughs.
When it seemed to be over, Visitor turned on the tub's faucet, cleaning the tub and cleaning Vengeance's face. Once he was satisfied, he let Vengeance lean back, noticing the man voluntarily lean to his body.]
Feel better? Do you want to go to bed?
Hm. Need...bed...being here...hurts.
[He slowly picked the massive Vengeance up again, slowly carrying him over to one of the beds on the clinic, and carefully placing him on the mattress. He then went back to rubbing Vengeance's body, soothingly calming him down before noticing the man's eyes closing again. He had fallen asleep...Visitor had never calmed someone down to the point they fell asleep. Not voluntarily at least...
